At 0h02, on March 15, 2026 • By Santa Anita Park
Mrs. Astor, a six-time stake winner including four at the graded level, will look to add to her standout record Sunday when she takes on a full field of fillies and mares in the Grade III, $100,000 Santa Ana Stakes going 1 ¼ miles on turf at Santa Anita.
Mrs. Astor kicked off her 6-year-old season on Jan. 19 by winning the 1 ½-mile Astra Stakes by a nose. Last year, the daughter of Lookin at Lucky won the GIII Red Carpet at Del Mar; both the Possibly Perfect and Santa Barbara at Santa Anita; and she finished second in the Santa Ana. In 2024, she won the Red Carpet for the first time as well as the GIII Robert J. Frankel at Santa Anita.
Mrs. Astor is trained by Jonathan Thomas. She sports an overall record of 22: 8-5-4 and $627,235 in earnings for owner-breeder Augustin Stable. She’ll have a new rider on Sunday in place of Umberto Rispoli, who is sidelined with an injury. Antonio Fresu will ride Mrs. Astor for the first time in the Santa Ana.
